  • bxblox, on 03/25/2008, -0/+6Because this thread has some connection to religion, it will no doubt degenerate into the typical "arrogant digg atheist vs apologist digg theist" argument.

  • bmystry, on 03/25/2008, -2/+5Alright so wheres the actual youtube video of them singing?
  • archivist, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2did anyone else see this ^ comment coming?
  • funklor, on 03/25/2008, -1/+3Fairly rabid atheist, I have a weird thing for the chant though, and some other religious imagery.
  • hans0, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2Ah! The monks seem to sing in the "old" way (too square). The record label should investigate a bit more about gregorian chant and the way it is sung today, based on the manuscripts of the IX-XI century.

  • Nick519, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1beautiful stuff. thank you.
  • Buckeye17, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1agreed. about 99% of the atheists I know like to "flaunt" their atheism, as if it's an indication that they are above the dumb mortals.
  • Nick519, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1seriously. not providing links? that's the WORST sort of internet journalism!
  • Scorps111, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1There are monks that go around Leeds here in the UK, that ask for money for their cause, if you give them a tenner they give you a monk rock CD, but never gave them money.
  • ckhw2, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1In that case, on behalf of all digg atheists, allow me to apologize...
